Gathering Place 4th West Pub Brings a Warm Glow to Escalante Official ‘Grand Opening’ Over Labor Day Weekend
KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) initiated a 90-day comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) and for Federal lands previously included in the GSENM that are now identified as the Kanab-Escalante Planning Area. A notice of availability was published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2018, and the draft documents are available for review on the BLM ePlanning website

WAYNE COUNTY There were only three items on the agenda for this week’s meeting, but the first item, a presentation by two gentlemen from the Utah Tax Commission took over an hour and a half, so it was a full meeting. This writer can’t begin to cover all the nitty-gritty details of the presentation, so I will provide the highlights and pertinent statistics, below. Josh Nelson and Russ Cazier of the Utah Tax Commission laid out a number of features of Wayne County’s (WC) status as they relate to state taxes. For instance, Wayne County has the lowest assessed taxable value of all the 29 counties in Utah, but it also has the lowest taxation rate, 6.6%. WC taxes cover 94% Real Property, 4% Centrally Assessed properties (utilities, mines, etc.) and 2% Personal Property (excludWCC

WAYNE COUNTY Cardiac arrest is an abrupt electrical malfunction in the heart that disrupts blood flow and can quickly lead to death, and no, I am not suggesting that eating ham is the cause. Ham in this case refers to the operator of a Ham radio, or Home Amateur Radio. These subjects are not really connected; they just happen to be what I am motivated to write about, having just returned from the opening evening events of our Wayne County Fair. I took advantage of the various health and emergency related booths to do a quick course in Hands-Only CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation without the mouth to mouth breaths) and to pick up a flyer about Ham Radio. If someone has collapsed from cardiac arrest, in many cases hands-only CPR is sufficient to keep them alive until EMS arrives. This is because there is enough oxygen and sugar still in a person’s lungs and blood to keep the brain going for a time, provided that the blood gets pumped. After calling 911, verify that the person is unresponsive and not breathing before using CPR, but it must be started within three to four minutes of collapse or brain damage is likely. The hands-only pumping technique is really very straight forward and simple. You do have to have a fair
amount of upper body strength and sound shoulders (I discovered) to do this technique, but my guess is that a majority of adults and teens could do it. There is a humorous 90 secEpisode Eight Cont'd on page 5

Escalante City Council Sets Date for “First Responders” Community Potluck Dinner September 20 Event to Support EMT/Firefighter Appreciation and Recruitment ESCALANTE - The August 21 Escalante City Council meeting was relatively short but a few key items were covered. Council member Marlene Stow presented two planning and zoning updates. First, she said they’ve been having working meetings to discuss conditional uses. They are looking at a zone change for affordable housing behind the high school, to change the lot sizes to quarter acre lots. Stowe asked the other council members, “What would the procedures be to make that change?” Also, the Escalante Heritage Center on Highway 12 by the high school is requesting a zoning change from Single Family Residen-
tial to Residential/Commercial. P&Z is recommending this change to the city council, and Recorder Stephanie Steed said a public hearing is posted for this proposed zone change on September 18. In scheduled items, Escalante resident Jean Bramble, representing the Escalante Canyons Art Festival, came before the city to request permission from the city for wine sales during the evening of the Art Festival auction, at the community center. “The DABC requires that we receive permission from the city each year to do this,” she said. Council members said they had no concerns about it, ECC

The council also approved the purchase of a table at Garfield Memorial Foundation’s fundraising dinner at Ebenezer’s Barn & Grill on August 30, for the sum of $250. This is for a table of eight. Recorder Steed said this is in the budget and is the traditional amount the city has donated for this event. Mayor Torgersen said she has been discussing with Escalante resident Denise Olson the city’s Emergency Services and ways to support the EMTs and firefighter. She and Denise put together the idea of hosting a community potluck, “a first responder appreciation and recruitment dinner.” Mayor Torgersen said she thinks this is a great idea—this will serve as a show of support for the city’s first responders and also help bring in some new people. Council member Lindsay said it would be a great idea to have information available for potential new recruits. Mayor Torgersen said the city will spring for hamburgers and hot dogs, and asked if the public could bring sides and salads.

appreciation and recruitment dinner was set for Thursday, September 20 at 6pm, at the city park pavilion. In department and administrative reports, Recorder Steed said she attended a Utah Business Licensing Association conference (held at Ruby’s Inn on August 15-17) and that the conference was full of information and was extremely helpful. She had several “takeaways” from the event. One, from a workshop on land laws and licensing, was a recommendation that cities “get rid of conditional uses” in their zoning, as conditional use permits are transferrable from one property owner to the next. Also noted at the conference is that Utah licensing for “off-premise” beer sales (gas stations and grocery stores) will be changing on February 28 of next year, requiring a new local consent process from cities. Also discussed were short term rentals, and how many are operating illegally throughout the state. In council reports, council member Allen said that he had a meeting with the FAA and Armstrong consulting regarding the airport fencing. Council member Barnes said she and the Mayor met with Mack West regarding the feasibility study for a new museum in Escalante, and this report should be available this fall. —Insider

ing motor vehicles). Wayne County also has over 90% public land, but it receives Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) money from the Federal Government to compensate for reduced taxable property here. More on that later. Because the county relies so much on Real Property taxes, it is imperative that the tax status of all real estate is correctly categorized (RuralResidential, Second Home, Commercial, Greenbelt etc.) It is the job of the County Assessor, Sharon Torgerson, and the County Recorder, Colleen Allen, to keep these assessments up to date, and she is required to “touch” every property at least every 5 years, which they have been doing. Sharon noted that there is a lot of construction going on in the county, both new and upgrading of existing properties. (An interesting fact is that there are 61% primary and 39% secondary residences in the county, and these are taxed based on their tax district and whether they are in an incorporated town or not, as well as their value.) Wayne County’s budget in 2018 was $640,000. The commissioners would like to see a $15,000 increase to the 2019 budget, and Josh and Russ spent a long time explaining how this could be done, which I won’t go into here. Also, tax
increases based on rising values are quite expensive to administer, and need to be done every 3-5 years, as a longer interval would result in unnecessary “surprises” for taxpayers. There was a discussion about giving tax breaks to alternative energy companies (wind, solar) but these are not currently feasible in WC due to inadequate distribution grid capacity here. Next on the agenda was whether WC should sign on to a class action suit with several other counties whose PILT payments have been reduced. against the Department of Interior (DOI.) The issue was tabled at the last meeting, pending further study, and the commissioners approved it this week. The final issue was whether WC should enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Forest Service (USFS) regarding management of the Greater Sage Grouse. The Sage Grouse Management Plan is a collaborative effort to manage public lands so as to prevent Endangered Species listing of the bird, which is considered a keystone species in the “sagebrush sea.” Managing for the grouse has given rise to the phrase “What’s good for the bird is good for the herd,” meaning that good sage grouse habitat means good conditions for cattle, sheep and other species. (Apologies for all the acronyms in this piece. Hopefully it wasn’t too confusing.)

Last Tuesday night the Lady Cat’s volleyball team played an outstanding game against South Sevier. The game was kind of a surprise being that it was the first day of school, but there were quite a few fans there that were treated to some fun volleyball. South Sevier was a really good team and always got off to an early start, but the Cats hung in there and won all three games coming from behind. It is surprising how well these girls are playing this early in the season. They are doing it
all: passing, setting and spiking, and their serving is out standing with only missing 3 serves in 3 games. At the JV tournament at Dixie, the Cats won the championship game against Desert Hills in a tournament that was made up of 3A to 5A teams. Coach Norris is really building a dynasty, with all of these young players doing so well. The Cats will be playing at North Sevier on Aug. 29th, Piute on Sept. 5th, and then home again against 3A Richfield. At the Cross Country meet at Wayne, the girls came away with the win. With Taylia Norris taking first, Lacey Reader 6th, Abigail Holman 7th, Mikayla Reader 8th, Hailee Eyre 16th, and Cairya Anderson 18th. The boys took 3rd behind the running of Por-
ter Schoppe 4th, Luke Reader 8th, Cairo Houston 12 and Corbin Akin 38th. Their next meet will be at Bryce Valley on the 30th, and you will be able to see them in action here on Sept. 6th. The Bobcat Baseball team had a bad week, losing to Valley 16 to 8 and against Green River 8 to 5. After a couple of really good weeks with 5 straight wins, they let a couple get away from them. This is really a building year for the Cats, and they will have weeks like this. The Cats play Wayne here, and I think that the Badgers are ranked number 1. Then it is up to Pinnacle on the 31st. Diamond Ranch will be here on Sept. 5th.

Review Your Estate Plan
t H e
by Jeffery J. McKenna Significant family changes always signal the need to review and revise your estate plan. There are numerous reasons to update your estate plan. Clients often overlook changes in their life which necessitate changes to their Estate Plan. The following are 10 instances when your plan should be reviewed and updated: 1. Marriage 2. The birth or death of a child 3. A significant change in the value/ makeup of your Estate 4. Divorce 5. Relocation to a different state 6. Changes in family relationships 7. Changes in the law 8. Changes in professional or business status and/ or relationships 9. Death of a spouse 10. Death or incapacity of individuals named as fiduciaries in your current plan You should review your plan on an annual basis to consider if any of the above events have occurred. If you are not sure whether these or other events require updating your plan, call your Estate Planning attorney to discuss your situation.
State and federal legislatures have become very active in recent years in changing the laws regarding estate planning, estate administration, and estate and income taxation. This trend is expected to continue. Because of this and also because you may have changes in your financial and/ or family circumstances, it is recommended that a thorough review be made of your estate plan by an attorney when these changes occur, or at least every three to five years. A will can be changed or amended with a codicil, a document executed with the same formality as the will itself. It is not always necessary to completely redraft the old will to make minor changes. The codicil must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by at least two disinterested parties. You cannot amend a will simply by writing in the margin or crossing out particular provisions. A will may be revoked by making out a new will that expressly revokes the former one, or by completely destroying the original will. Changes to a trust may be made by restating the trust, or by simply amending it, depending on the circumstances. Estate planning review is yet another way to protect

Once upon a time in their marriage, my Dad did something really stupid. Mom chewed him out for it. He apologized and they made up. However, from time to time, my mom mentions what he had done. "Honey," my Dad finally said one day, "why do you keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was 'forgive and forget.'" "It is," she said. "I just don't want you to forget that I've forgiven and forgotten."

ond demo video put out by the American Heart Association that shows you what to do— again, after first calling 911. You can find this at heart.org/ handsonlycpr. Some important points if you chose to learn this lifesaving technique from the video: Be sure to push in the center of the chest, using the heel of the hand, one hand placed on top of the other; To have the strength to depress someone’s chest the needed two inches, utilize your body weight by having your shoulders directly above your hands; You have to push at the rate of 100 to 120 times per minute; You need to let off all the weight, but not the contact, in between pumps so that the chest can rise—sort of a rebound sensation; Keep at it until first responders arrive or the person begins to breathe on their own. To get the right rate it is suggested that you practice to the beat of various popular songs such as “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees. Being strictly a classically trained musician, ignorant of all the suggested songs, I can’t speak to the accuracy of this advice, but if you have the music student’s torture implement known as a metronome, just
Five-year-old Christine, an only child, spent the day playing next door with two girls who were sisters. When Christine came home, she told her parents, "I want a baby sister so bad.

Christine thought a moment and said, "Never mind. It isn't worth the risk."

set it somewhere between 100 to 120 beats per minute. Hands-Only CPR is not advised, however, on infants and children not yet teenagers, on people who overdose, drown, or who have collapsed from other breathing problems. In these cases the CPR-with-breaths technique is best, which requires more training and confidence. This also applies if you encounter someone who is collapsed and unconscious from unknown causes. But seventy per cent of cardiac arrests outside of hospitals occur at home, making the hands-only CPR a truly life-saving technique that you hope all family members know. I have had trouble finding an answer to the question of how long the hands-only technique can be used without the breathing aspect and still be adequate to prevent brain death or serious brain damage (as the ads say, “Ask your doctor…”), so learning both seems advisable. But the bottom line seems to be, “any CPR is better than none.” There’s another skill that is also important in emergencies. All those ham radio operators around the world continue to play an active role in communications, assisting both individuals and communities during emergencies. Example: A friend and I were once kayaking out on
Exercise Machine
My husband bought an exercise machine to help him shed a few pounds. He set it up in the basement but didn't use it much, so he moved it to the bedroom. It gathered dust there, too, so he put it in the living room. Weeks later I asked how it was going. "I was right," he said. "I do get more exercise now. Every time I close the drapes, I have to walk around the machine."

the Great Salt Lake, late in the fall and late at night, when a Coast Guard rescue boat went speeding by us—its gigantic spotlight sweeping across the water. We later found out that a sailor had overturned in his catamaran and was unable to right it. He had been standing for hours on his upside-down boat, miles away from shore, in the dark, buffeted by the wind and in knee-deep water, when a ham operator somewhere picked up his distress call. The ham operator got in touch with SLC police who contacted the Coast Guard, and the boat that we saw speeding past was sent out looking for him. It was hours more before he was located (it is a big lake), and by then he was suffering some degree of hypothermia, but he survived—thanks to the ham operator. This incident motivated
New Teacher
A young lady graduated from college and started teaching at an area school. One day she went with a friend to a nearby restaurant for lunch. A man seated next to her asks, "Are you a teacher?" Surprised but happy, she replied, "Why, yes, I certainly am!" She enjoyed a warm feeling throughout the meal ... she looked like a teacher, and this made her feel great. As she was leaving the restaurant, she asked the man, "How did youknow I was a teacher?" "You have chalk dust on your rear", he replied.
Cutting Class?
A teacher was reprimanding a teenager in the hall. "Do you mind telling me whose class you're cutting this time?" "Like," the young teen replied, "uh, see, okay, like it's like I really don't like think like that's really important, y'know, like because I'm y'know, like I don't like get anything out of it." "It's English class, isn't it?" replied the smiling teacher. me to purchase a ham radio, but I am sorry to say that I didn’t follow through with the needed training. I now intend to do that in an effort to “put my actions where my mouth is.” Ham radio operators are greatly needed in many situations, and we definitely need more in Wayne County, particularly for those times when regular communications are interrupted. The ham radio network is the most likely system to still be working in various types of disaster situations. For more information contact Scott Brady at the Sevier Amateur Radio Club, at 435-612-0330. Their website is: www.sevierarc.org. A national website is: www. arrl.org. Jeanie Webster, our Emergency Manager, hopes to organize some ham training classes soon. See you there—just after I see you at a CERT training—right?

New to Wayne County? Let me show you ways/ To notice the alpine glory on every hand, to be ripe for the look of loose red desert sand, or the high range where the antelope still plays/ The cowboy and the farmer moved here in the olden days/ They settled in place of the ancient Indian bands/ Motel, now, and second-home residence stands, but the forest and mountain and red rock remain here always/ The land is immense, but inhabitants tend to few/ Water is scarce, and the state laws on booze are a riddle/ There's a string of small towns as you notice when you're passing through, and the one with the liquor store, well, that there's in the middle/ I live in Grover. You missed it? Lots of folks do/ But if you seen This week's answers on page 9

Stanley D. Brian 1940 - 2018 LOA - After sustaining injuries in an automobile accident, Stanley Dolan Brian age 77 was called back to his home in heaven on August 17, 2018, called back to greener pastures, and fences made of gold. Where sheep and cattle roam the land, and never do grow old. Where the grass is tall, and water flows, and horses never tire, Where the ranch house waits with dinner warm, near a welcome fire. Our beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and Friend was born on September 3, 1940 to Reed Bastian Brian and Marjorie White. He was born in Loa, Utah where he was raised in the mountains and valleys round about with the sheep and cattle. He was the fourth of eleven children, six sisters and four brothers. Two, of which, have preceded him in death. Stanley was married and sealed to Lois Chappell on May 17, 1963 in the Temple in Manti Utah. As a husband Stanley was always so attentive to his sweetheart. He always made sure that she was taken care of first and was insistent that his children treated their Mom with love and respect. Of all the things in life that man can obtain, the greatest of all, is love for our fellow men. Stanley knew that and showed love to everyone. He was always and forever willing to give total strangers the coat off his back if that is what they needed. Stanley’s testimony of his savior was simple and powerful and showed in the way he lived his life. He knew that the atonement was real and taught his children and grandchildren, by example, the importance of living the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the later years of Stanley’s life he was dealt many trials, all of which he took with both feet in the stirrups and never left the saddle. Even in the end he managed to hang on until his family gathered round him to encourage him to take the reins and ride on into eternity. He is survived by his wife, Lois Chappell Brian of Loa; children: Roger (Cathy) Brian; Bart (Mindi) Brian, Shannon (Michelle) Brian, all of Loa; Paula (Tyce) Palmer, Ashlee (Mitchell) Miller, all of Panguitch, Megan (Dustin) Coleman of Wellsville; 34 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren with 3 on the way; brothers and sisters: Julia Sorensen of Axtel; Emily Lee of Boulder City, Nevada; Beverly Brian, Robert and Edra Brian, Harry and Dawna Rae Brian,all of Loa; Pamela and Russell Peterson, Sheila and Sherrill Torgerson, all of Lyman; Michelle and Dale Coates of Aurora; Debbie and Bobbie Edwards of Loa. He is preceded in death by his Parents: Reed Bastian Brian and Marjorie White; brothers: Reed Brian Jr. and H. Dudley Brian; brothers-in-law: Elwood Sorenson and David Lee. Funeral services will be held Friday, August 24, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. in the Loa LDS Stake Center, where friends may call for viewing Thursday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or Friday morning from 10:30 to 12:30 prior to the services. Burial will be in the Loa Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. On line guest book at: www.springerturner.com

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The excitement for the week was Friday’s big, and I mean big, hail storm. I have been in a lot of different weather (hurricanes, tornados, etc.,) but this was my first hail storm of any size. The storm started off with a lot of lighting and thunder that seemed to be really close. I had my little dog outside, and she came running into the house when the thunder started. She was really shaking and scared. Then the hail started in and, boy, did it come down (hopefully a picture of the white stuff will be in the paper). It made a loud racket, hitting the roof of our aluminum patio cover. It was my water day, and I loved it, but many of the gardens in town were destroyed, which is terrible. A lot of the trees in town got a real trimming, taking down much of their leaves. The hail wasn’t that big that it put any dents in the cars or did any structural damage that I heard about. It was fun while it lasted, snow in the summer time.
The ATV Rally is over with and, as usual, it was really well run, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Some of the rides were really long, and that took a toll on some of the older riders. Joe Orman was really working overtime; organizing the rides making sure everyone was happy. He was the last one to leave at night and met the Panguitch Lions Club at 5 in the morning so they could get breakfast ready by 6. This, like all of the events, really gets help from the mighty volunteers that make this event even possible. There are 20 guides and trailers that make these rides both interesting and safe. Many of the RV parks were filled up, and the riders really helped out with businesses in town, shopping in their down time. Larry Lybbert won the ATV give away. It is nice that it went to a local this year. There were over 250 riders that signed up for the rally, and the annual parade of ATV’s had 50 ve-
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Among National Park Service’s Top Economic Drivers PAGE – An annual National Park Service (NPS) report shows that Glen Canyon National Recreation Area has become one of the National Park System’s top economic drivers. In 2017, the park ranked number nine in economic benefits among the 417 NPS units nationwide. Glen Canyon’s visitation has increased substantially every year, to 4,574,940 annual visitors in 2017 (ranking higher in visitation than more wellknown parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone). Glen Canyon’s visitors spent $361 million and the overall economic output was $425 million. By supporting 5,060 jobs in the local area, Glen Canyon ranked eighth in that category among all 417 NPS units. Glen Canyon also administers Rainbow Bridge National Monument, whose 108,418 visitors in 2017 spent $6.2 million in communities near the park. Its economic output was just under $7 million. Considered together, these two units of the National Park Service are significant economic drivers and their beneficial impact on local communities continues to grow. "I am really excited to see the numbers in the report confirm that we contribute significantly to the economy and to local communities,” said Superintendent William Shott. “We’d like to thank our concessioners, Commercial Use Authorizations and small businesses who partner with
us to provide important visitor services. These partners not only serve our visitors but care equally about protecting these public lands so that they continue to be a destination for generations.” Glen Canyon had 4,574,940 recreation visitors in 2017 — more than doubling 2013 visitation (1,991,924). The numbers were buoyed by an increase in land-based recreationists interested in hiking or other activities, such as at Horseshoe Bend Overlook. What was once a local secret spot has become an iconic tourist destination and is now receiving between 1.4 and 1.5 million visitors a year. When the initial Horseshoe Bend improvements are completed in January 2019 more annual visitors are expected. Glen Canyon’s Escalante, Muley Point and Orange Cliffs areas are also experiencing substantial growth in back-country recreation. NPS Economic Benefits Report authors produced an interactive tool.

hicles in it. When this event started it was strictly four wheelers. This year’s parade had 48 side by sides and only two 4 wheelers. Tonight is the last big event, the Garfield Memorial Health Care Foundation dinner. It will be out at Ebenezer’s barn and grill at Ruby’s Inn. You can buy tickets there and the cost is $35 dollars and that includes dinner. Yes, Lance Miller at the Triple C Arena will have a number of rodeo events and, I believe, there will be a big high school rodeo in the near future. This Monday is Labor Day, one of my favorite holidays. It honors 98% of the people in this great country of ours. Parowan has their County Fair this weekend. We usually make it over for the Parade and Car show and will again this year. Oh! Where did the summer go? We still have another month to go, though. I guess when school starts, it is a good signal that it will soon be over. Here is something to look forward to next year; it will be the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike merger. The State legislature has set aside a million dollars for the Celebration, and the Union Pacific Railroad has added another million to the pot and it is claimed that this is going to the biggest celebration ever. Even bigger than the Olympics. They will be bringing back the original Golden Spike that was the last one to complete the railroad. This is quite a feat and
it was done during the Civil War and many of the workers were brought in from China to do much of the work. This event will take place on May 10. From May 9th to the 11th, the Union Pacific will bring in the “Big Boy” the biggest steam engine ever produced. The Big Boy is as long as a diesel engine, a school bus, and a sedan combined. There are all kinds of events that are already planned and much of it will be televised to the schools. Speaking of the Union Pacific railroad, tourists during the 1920s used to take the train to Cedar City, and a bus would take them out to Bryce Canyon for the sights. There are a couple of these buses on display out at the park. Union Pacific is now planning to build an eight story hotel on their Union Pacific Depot grounds. Their beautiful waiting room will be the hotel's reception room and there will 240 rooms in this hotel and it will be ready by 2021. When 12-12-12 passed, I didn’t think that there would be any dates that were even for another hundred years,. Wrong. Last week we had 8-18-18, and that reads the same backwards. Actually this really started on 8-1118 and ran through 8-19-18. Someone with a lot of time on their hands figured that out. Nothing enhances the good old days as much as a bad memory. Mack O.

O bituaries Greg Leech TROPIC - Gregory Thomas Leech, age 34, a man whose love and laughter lifted up all those around him and whose sole purpose in life was dedicating himself to the service of others, finally found peace on August 19, 2018 in Nashville, TN. Greg was born May 5, 1984 to James Leech and Elaine Haas in Santa Clara, California. He attended Bryce Valley High School in Tropic, Utah where he was engaged in sports but excelled in mischief, laughter, fun, and a rampant imagination. We soon realized his talents for writing, drawing, carpentry, and a determination to do things and make sure they were done well. Being motivated to action on 9-11, he joined the military as a member of the infantry right out of high school, where, once again, he excelled. A life of service committed to fighting enemies of American ideals, he quickly rose in rank to Master Sergeant and to the top tier of Americas counter terrorism fighting forces. Greg’s two most important achievements however occurred with the births of his two daughters, Leyna and Everly Kate Leech. Leyna sadly passed away on September 22, 2006. His conduct in the presence of his daughter Everly defined in the purest sense of the words a "loving father". He saw it as his duty and privilege to love, adore, protect, respect, and guide his little girl, and treated her as a most precious gift. No one who knew Greg can deny that he was the life of the party. To him everyone was family. You came first, and Greg was there to do the heavy lifting if you needed. He loved the outdoors. Hiking, camping, camp fires, and repelling. Reading and music were his happy relaxing escapes. And…he loved TSwift waaay more than a grown man of his standing should. Just sayin brother. But when you’ve achieved the following who cares. Deployments: Two to Iraq, two to Afghanistan, two to Africa. Awards: Afghanistan campaign medal with two campaign stars; Iraq campaign medal with two campaign stars; Bronze star medal; purple heart; meritorious service medal (2nd award); joint service commendation medal; army commendation medal (3rd award); joint service achievement medal; defense service medal; global war on terrorism expeditionary medal; global war on terrorism service medal; noncommissioned officer professional development ribbon (3rd award); army service ribbon; over seas service ribbon; NATO medal; combat infantryman badge; expert infantryman badge; special forces tab; ranger tab; military freefall parachutes; parachutist badge; jumpmaster; parachutist badge. He is survived by his parents; daughter, Everly; brother: Timothy (Shanna) Leech; grandmother, Helma Haas. Graveside services will be held Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the Tropic Cemetery with military honors by the Bryce Valley American Legion Post #18 and the Utah National Guard.

by everyone who cares about these lands.” On January 16, 2018, the BLM initiated planning for these lands and hosted a nearly three-month long scoping period and two public meetings. Since then, the BLM has worked with cooperating agencies to develop draft management plans and a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) reflecting input from many stakeholders and the public. The plans include a range of alternatives addressing management issues brought forward during scoping. “We want to hear from you,” said Harry Barber, acting Monument manager. “This review period provides an important opportunity for you to influence the decision-making process. The alternatives in the draft EIS address the challenges of protecting natural and cultural resources, including objects of pre-historic, paleontological, historic, and scientific interest within the monument, while also addressing multiple uses of public lands.” The Draft RMPs/Draft EIS evaluate four alternatives varying from no action to maximizing management flexibility, while still providing for resource protection, including protection of Monument objects within the GSENM, as required by applicable laws, policies, and plans. The BLM encourages comments on all alternatives and potential management actions, as the final management plans may include portions of any alternative. Incorporating local voices and the public at large in the planning process is vital to
managing sustainable, working public lands. To help the BLM properly consider and incorporate feedback, please include a reference to a specific page or section of the Draft EIS/Draft RMP in your comment.

Fire Restrictions Rescinded in Central Utah CENTRAL UTAH Central Utah Interagency Fire Managers have rescinded fire restrictions on all unincorporated private lands, state lands, and federally administered public lands in central Utah. This is due to recent precipitation and seeing long-range weather forecasts with improved wildfire danger conditions. Fire Restrictions rescinded on Monday, August 20 at 00:01 a.m. on all lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Richfield Field Office and Henry Mountain Field Station; Capitol Reef National Park; and unincorporated state and private lands in Sanpete, Juab, Millard, Sevier, Wayne, and Piute Counties. Stage 1 Fire Restrictions applicable to all National Forest System Lands on the Fishlake National Forest were terminated effective 00:01 a.m. on August 16, 2018. Note: Stage 1 Fire Restrictions will still be in force on the Canyon Range on the Fillmore Ranger District as per Order Number 0408-18-03 until September 30, 2018 or until rescinded; whichever occurs first. Division of Forestry,
Fire, and State Lands reminds everyone that regardless of fire restriction status, permits for any debris burning are always required and strictly enforced. Contact your county fire warden to obtain a permit. Fire managers urge caution as wildfire danger still exists. Please be aware that wildfire is always a risk. This time of year can produce cold nights and very warm, dry and windy days. Unwanted human caused wildfires can still occur under these conditions and cause wildfire challenges. Please use appropriate methods to contain fires, build them in areas free of vegetation, and be certain that your fires are completely out after use. Fire officials also caution against possessing, using, igniting, or detonating fireworks and exploding targets on federally administered public lands as these acts are always prohibited. By following these simple guidelines, YOU have the power to protect your favorite spots in Utah. Remember – One Less Spark means One Less Wildfire! —BLM

“Take Your Time” Campaign Leads to Certification for Local Businesses in Garfield County Improving Customer Service to Help Visitors “Experience One More Day”
Cont'd from page 1
restaurant workers occasionally go to unwind when their venues close up for the evening, and a few of those traveling restaurant patrons—not quite ready to go back to their rooms, yet—can be found there, too. Even better than adding more ‘open for business’ hours to the day, is that owners Dave and Erin Treanor have breathed new life into a historically relevant building. Originally built in 1943 by Wanless Alvey as Alvey’s Super Service, the 4th West location has, over time, served as several auto service stations, a few restaurants, and an art gallery.
and lots of non-alcoholic cocktails and sodas, over 28 different beers including on tap, in bottles or in cans, and a number of wines. “Beer is by far our most popular item, but people love our mixed drinks,” said Erin Treanor, “Especially margaritas and mojitos.” Kitchen items include panini—both vegetarian and meat-based with southwest steak, turkey or pastrami, as well as pork or steak ‘street tacos’ with homemade pico de gallo. “The tacos have a reputation now. People are really coming for those,” said Erin. Customers are encouraged to linger and enjoy a game of pool, watch whatever’s on TV, read or swap
and locals,” said Erin Treanor. “It is really important to us that this place is a community-friendly a place where everyone can feel comfortable,” Dave added. “There’s a little something for everybody. You don’t have to drink alcohol— we want people to feel they are part of the space and part of the community. It’s nice to plan going out and not have it around dinner time. You can catch a football game or whatever, and not be hustled out of here after you’re done with your dinner.” During the months of working on the building and being open for business, Dave and Erin learned a lot about the previous businesses and years of goings-on there.

The Treanors bought the building in the summer of 2017, and worked super hard over the winter and spring months on a complete building renovation before opening on May 14 of this year. With the couple’s affinity— each in their own way—for art and design, the place has been transformed into a superlatively welcoming space. Warm and affirming of its roots, the ceiling has a few open old beams, and decorations include historic photos of Escalante and Boulder. Yet the space is also modern, with big windows, large French doors opening to an outdoor patio, a shiny black bar and high-top seating. “Because it’s a pub and that’s a new kind of establishment for the town, we wanted it to have lots of big windows and open space, we wanted it literally to be transparent,” said Dave Treanor. The pub includes a full bar with regular bar drinks,
books from the free library, play cribbage or a game of cards. The Treanors said that while the ‘pub’ idea may have seemed to come out of the blue, “This has been on our list of things to do probably for about 5 years, now. It’s something we’ve felt for a long time that the town could use, a place to go out and not have to plan it around dinner,” said Dave Treanor. According to the Treanors, that’s one reason they use the term ‘pub’ instead of ‘bar,’ as the term ‘pub’ is short for ‘public house.’ The later hours and light dinner fare are a familiar European model, what Europeans are accustomed to. A place to go and socialize and hang out for a while. For their first three months of summer business, the customer mix has included a blend of both tourists and locals. “It’s been a real mixed crowd of people—its been pretty even, between tourists
“Right underneath where we’re sitting right now is a hydraulic lift,” said Dave. “As we were building, a lot of people said things like they learned how to change a transmission right here, or fixed a motorcycle in that bay over there.” Erin added, “There have been some really funny stories— some said when they were kids they’d come up here and hang out at the service station and this is where they learned how to smoke cigarettes.” Erin said that city officials and people in town have been very supportive of the new business. She said, “The customers are great and respectful of the space. It’s been a great crowd. And that’s been really nice.” 4th West Pub is located at Fourth West and Main Street in Escalante. Summer hours are: open daily, seven days a week from 5pm - midnight (last call is 11pm). 21 years and over, only. —Insider
PANGUITCH - Garfield County is providing local businesses the opportunity to become “Take Your Time” certified in order to better the tourist and visitor experience. In 2016, the awardwinning “Take Your Time” campaign brought many visitors to the area and the addition of the certification is building upon the campaign to help expose travelers to all that the county has to offer. In the Garfield County Tourism year-in-review 2017 report, Bryce Canyon National Park saw 2.3 million visitors, an increase of 35.5 percent from the previous year. With the addition of visitors, Garfield County started an internal “Take Your Time” certification to give county members, employees and travelers alike the opportunity to learn and experience more. Just like the original “Take Your Time” campaign, the certification is showing visitors that there is always a new attraction or activity to experience in Garfield County. “The ‘Take Your Time’ initiative has brought incredible success to the community,” said Falyn Owens, executive director of Garfield County Office of Tourism. “Now paired with the certification, local businesses are able to gain more knowledge about the area and connect and inspire customers to experience one more day in Garfield County.” Three businesses have completed the certification including Boulder Mountain Lodge, Rockin’ R Ranch and Red Ledges. With a sticker in the window to inform travelers, these busi-
nesses are better prepared to answer questions and give travel suggestions for Garfield County. Each business is supplied with multiple resources to assist in this process including quick answer guides for questions, maps of the area, activity lists and travel brochures to showcase various options of adventure. These materials are helpful to employees and visitors alike. Success to the community has come in more ways than the “Take Your Time” initiative. The initiative brought more people to Bryce Canyon National Park and those people helped boost the economy as a whole. From the 2.3 million people that visited the park last year, $213 million were spent by travelers, according to The National Park Service. The money spent by visitors supported 3,119 jobs in the area. These employees, through the certification, are investing time back into the visitors that come to Bryce Canyon. The four-step “Take Your Time” certification teaches employees more about areas that are farther away from their location. Employees that know the area, are better able to help answer questions. When an employee helps adventurers, the employee assists in creating a more enjoyable and memorable trip, which in turn, brings more people to the county. “I asked our front desk staff to take the quiz, and I think we all learned about a couple new activities in the areas of the county that are a bit further away from
Boulder,” said Susan Heaton, from Boulder Mountain Lodge. “The ‘Take Your Time’ certification is a good reminder not only of what tourism in Garfield County is about, but also of the many fun things to do in this amazing part of Utah.” Heaton encourages other businesses to join the initiative and become certified in order to help their customers have the best experience possible. “If you have a few extra minutes, go through the information provided,” she said. “It is easy, and you might learn something new too.” Not only will the certification help companies and employees, but also will continue to help the growing economy in the area. Through the increase of visitors in the area, the cumulative benefit to the economy has been $256 million. With this economic well being, Bryce Canyon has become the 12th most visitors national park in the country and the second most visited in Utah. The increase in economic benefits for the community is another reason why employees and companies should become certified in order to better serve guests coming to the area, and is another reason why this internal certification program is important. For companies in the area to learn more about the “Take Your Time” certification, visit brycecanyoncountry.com/employee-resourcecenter. —Garfield County Tourism
